Access Attorney Registration Information Via Web
With the click of a button, Ohio attorneys can access all the information they need to complete their biennial registration.
Every odd-numbered year, all Ohio attorneys on active or corporate status must register with the Supreme Court of Ohio Office of Attorney Services by Sept. 1 and pay a $350 registration fee. Attorneys who fail to register and pay fees by the deadline or within the late registration period will be suspended.
Attorneys should have received a packet of registration materials over the last few weeks that contains instructions on how to register and a form to verify the accuracy of their contact information. Attorneys can register either by mail or electronically. To make the registration process easier, the Supreme Court placed a “Biennial Attorney Registration – Due Sept. 1” icon on the front page of the Court’s Web site. The one-stop shop icon is the fourth button down from the top located on the right-hand side of the page.
Attorneys are encouraged to register and pay their fees online by credit card, although registering by mail and paying by check or money order are still available. Attorneys who successfully complete the process will receive confirmation by mail. Those who don’t receive confirmation should contact Attorney Services.
Attorneys also need to provide the Supreme Court with up-to-date residence, office and e-mail addresses. To ensure registration materials are timely received, attorneys should send any change of contact information to Attorney Services immediately. Attorneys may update their own records online or mail the changes directly to Attorney Services.
